FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
TI's FlexCap LDO's feature unique compensation that
allows the use of any type of output capacitor with no
limits on minimum or maximum ESR. The LP38500/2
series of low-dropout linear regulators operates from
a +2.7V to +5.5V input supply. These ultra low
dropout linear regulators respond very quickly to step
changes in load, which makes them suitable for low
voltage microprocessor applications. Developed on a
CMOS process, (utilizing a PMOS pass transistor),
the LP38500/2 has low quiescent current that
changes little with load current.

Parameter
The line and load regulation specification contains only the typical number. However, the limits for line and load regulation are included
in the adjust voltage tolerance specification.
Dropout voltage is defined as the minimum input to output differential voltage at which the output drops 2% below the nominal value. For
any output voltage less than 2.5V, the minimum VIN operating voltage is the limiting factor.
Output voltage line regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from the nominal value due to change in the voltage at the
input.
Output voltage load regulation is defined as the change in output voltage from the nominal value due to change in the load current.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
EXTERNAL CAPACITORS
The LP3850X requires that at least 10 µF (±20%) capacitors be used at the input and output pins located within
one cm of the IC. Larger capacitors may be used without limit on size for both CIN and COUT. Capacitor
tolerances such as temperature variation and voltage loading effects must be considered when selecting
capacitors to ensure that they will provide the minimum required amount of capacitance under all operating
conditions for the application.
In general, ceramic capacitors are best for noise bypassing and transient response because of their ultra low
ESR. It must be noted that if ceramics are used, only the types with X5R or X7R dielectric ratings should be used
(never Z5U or Y5F). Capacitors which have the Z5U or Y5F characteristics will see a drop in capacitance of as
much as 50% if their temperature increases from 25°C to 85°C. In addition, the capacitance drops significantly
with applied voltage: a typical Z5U or Y5F capacitor can lose as much as 60% of it’s rated capacitance if only
half of the rated voltage is applied to it. For these reasons, only X5R and X7R ceramics should be used.
INPUT CAPACITOR
All linear regulators can be affected by the source impedance of the voltage which is connected to the input. If
the source impedance is too high, the reactive component of the source may affect the control loop’s phase
margin. To ensure proper loop operation, the ESR of the capacitor used for CIN must not exceed 0.5
Ohms. Any good quality ceramic capacitor will meet this requirement, as well as many good quality tantalums.
Aluminum electrolytic capacitors may also work, but can possibly have an ESR which increases significantly at
cold temperatures. If the ESR of the input capacitor may exceed 0.5 Ohms, it is recommended that a 2.2 µF
ceramic capacitor be used in parallel, as this will assure stable loop operation.
OUTPUT CAPACITOR
Any type of capacitor may be used for COUT, with no limitations on minimum or maximum ESR, as long as the
minimum amount of capacitance is present. The amount of capacitance can be increased without limit.
Increasing the size of COUT typically will give improved load transient response.
SETTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE
The output voltage of the LP38500/2-ADJ can be set to any value between 0.6V and 5V using two external
resistors shown as R1 and R2 in Figure 22.
Figure 22.
The value of R2 should always be less than or equal to 10 kΩ for good loop compensation. R1 can be selected
for a given VOUT using the following formula:
VOUT = VADJ (1 + R1/R2) + IADJ (R1)
where
•
•
VADJ is the adjust pin voltage
IADJ is the bias current flowing into the adjust pin

STABILITY AND PHASE MARGIN
Any regulator which operates using a feedback loop must be compensated in such a way as to ensure adequate
phase margin, which is defined as the difference between the phase shift and -180 degrees at the frequency
where the loop gain crosses unity (0 dB). For most LDO regulators, the ESR of the output capacitor is required to
create a zero to add enough phase lead to ensure stable operation. The LP38500/2-ADJ has a unique internal
compensation circuit which maintains phase margin regardless of the ESR of the output capacitor, so any type of
capacitor may be used.
Figure 23 shows the gain/phase plot of the LP38500/2-ADJ with an output of 1.2V, 10 µF ceramic output
capacitor, delivering 1.5A of load current. It can be seen that the unity-gain crossover occurs at 150 kHz, and the
phase margin is about 40° (which is very stable).
Figure 23. Gain-Bandwidth Plot for 1.5A Load
Figure 24 shows the gain and phase with no external load. In this case, the only load is provided by the gain
setting resistors (about 12 kΩ total in this test). It is immediately obvious that the unity-gain frequency is
significantly lower (dropping to about 500 Hz), at which point the phase margin is 125°.
Figure 24. Gain-Bandwidth Plot for No Load
The reduction in unity-gain bandwidth as load current is reduced is normal for any LDO regulator using a P-FET
or PNP pass transistor, because they have a pole in the loop gain function given by:
(2)
This illustrates how the pole goes to the highest frequency when RL is minimum value (maximum load current).
In general, LDO’s have maximum bandwidth (and lowest phase margin) at full load current. In the case of the
LP38500/2-ADJ, it can be seen that it has good phase margin even when using ceramic capacitors with ESR
values of only a few milli Ohms.

SNVS539F – NOVEMBER 2007 – REVISED APRIL 2013
LOAD TRANSIENT RESPONSE
Load transient response is defined as the change in regulated output voltage which occurs as a result of a
change in load current. Many applications have loads which vary, and the control loop of the voltage regulator
must adjust the current in the pass FET transistor in response to load current changes. For this reason,
regulators with wider bandwidths often have better transient response.
The LP38500/2-ADJ employs an internal feedforward design which makes the load transient response much
faster than would be predicted simply by loop speed: this feedforward means any voltage changes appearing on
the output are coupled through to the high-speed driver used to control the gate of the pass FET along a signal
path using very fast FET devices. Because of this, the pass transistor’s current can change very quickly.
Figure 24 shows the output voltage load transient which occurs on a 1.8V output when the load changes from
0.1A to 1.5A at an average slew rate of 0.5A/µs. As shown, the peak output voltage change from nominal is
about 40 mV, which is about 2.2%.
Figure 25. Load Transient Response
In cases where extremely fast load changes occur, the output capacitance may have to be increased. When
selecting capacitors, it must be understood that the better performing ones usually cost the most. For fast
changing loads, the internal parasitics of ESR (equivalent series resistance) and ESL (equivalent series
inductance) degrade the capacitor’s ability to source current quickly to the load. The best capacitor types for
transient performance are (in order):
1. Multilayer Ceramic: with the lowest values of ESR and ESL, they can have ESR values in the range of a few
milli Ohms. Disadvantage: capacitance values above about 22 µF significantly increase in cost.
2. Low-ESR Aluminum Electrolytics: these are aluminum types (like OSCON) with a special electrolyte which
provides extremely low ESR values, and are the closest to ceramic performance while still providing large
amounts of capacitance. These are cheaper (by capacitance) than ceramic.
3. Solid tantalum: can provide several hundred µF of capacitance, transient performance is slightly worse than
OSCON type capacitors, cheaper than ceramic in large values.
4. General purpose aluminum electrolytics: cheap and provide a lot of capacitance, but give the worst
performance.
In general, managing load transients is done by paralleling ceramic capacitance with a larger bulk capacitance.
In this way, the ceramic can source current during the rapidly changing edge and the bulk capacitor can support
the load current after the first initial spike in current.
PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD LAYOUT
Good layout practices will minimize voltage error and prevent instability which can result from ground loops. The
input and output capacitors should be directly connected to the IC pins with short traces that have no other
current flowing in them (Kelvin connect).
The best way to do this is to place the capacitors very near the IC and make connections directly to the IC pins
via short traces on the top layer of the PCB. The regulator’s ground pin should be connected through vias to the
internal or backside ground plane so that the regulator has a single point ground.

The external resistors which set the output voltage must also be located very near the IC with all connections
directly tied via short traces to the pins of the IC (Kelvin connect). Do not connect the resistive divider to the load
point or DC error will be induced.
RFI/EMI SUSCEPTIBILITY
RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) and EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference) can degrade any integrated circuit's
performance because of the small dimensions of the geometries inside the device. In applications where circuit
sources are present which generate signals with significant high frequency energy content (> 1 MHz), care must
be taken to ensure that this does not affect the IC regulator.
If RFI/EMI noise is present on the input side of the regulator (such as applications where the input source comes
from the output of a switching regulator), good ceramic bypass capacitors must be used at the input pin of the IC
to reduce the amount of EMI conducted into the IC.
If the LP38500/2-ADJ output is connected to a load which switches at high speed (such as a clock), the highfrequency current pulses required by the load must be supplied by the capacitors on the IC output. Since the
bandwidth of the regulator loop is less than 300 kHz, the control circuitry cannot respond to load changes above
that frequency. This means the effective output impedance of the IC at frequencies above 300 kHz is determined
only by the output capacitor(s). Ceramic capacitors provide the best performance in this type of application.
In applications where the load is switching at high speed, the output of the IC may need RF isolation from the
load. In such cases, it is recommended that some inductance be placed between the output capacitor and the
load, and good RF bypass capacitors be placed directly across the load. PCB layout is also critical in high noise
environments, since RFI/EMI is easily radiated directly into PC traces. Noisy circuitry should be isolated from
"clean" circuits where possible, and grounded through a separate path. At MHz frequencies, ground planes begin
to look inductive and RFI/EMI can cause ground bounce across the ground plane. In multi-layer PC Board
applications, care should be taken in layout so that noisy power and ground planes do not radiate directly into
adjacent layers which carry analog power and ground.
OUTPUT NOISE
Noise is specified in two ways:
Spot Noise or Output noise density is the RMS sum of all noise sources, measured at the regulator output, at
a specific frequency (measured with a 1Hz bandwidth). This type of noise is usually plotted on a curve as a
function of frequency.
Total output noise voltage or Broadband noise is the RMS sum of spot noise over a specified bandwidth,
usually several decades of frequencies. Attention should be paid to the units of measurement.
Spot noise is measured in units µV/√Hz or nV/√Hz and total output noise is measured in µV(rms). The primary
source of noise in low-dropout regulators is the internal reference. In CMOS regulators, noise has a low
frequency component and a high frequency component, which depend strongly on the silicon area and quiescent
current.
Noise can generally be reduced in two ways: increase the transistor area or increase the reference current.
However, enlarging the transisitors will increase die size, and increasing the reference current means higher total
supply current (ground pin current).

The LP38500/2-ADJ contains internal current limiting which will reduce output current to a safe value if the output
is overloaded or shorted. Depending upon the value of VIN, thermal limiting may also become active as the
average power dissipated causes the die temperature to increase to the limit value (about 170°C). The hysteresis
of the thermal shutdown circuitry can result in a “cyclic” behavior on the output as the die temperature heats and
cools.
ENABLE OPERATION (LP38502-ADJ Only)
The Enable pin (EN) must be actively terminated by either a 10 kΩ pull-up resistor to VIN, or a driver which
actively pulls high and low (such as a CMOS rail to rail comparator). If active drive is used, the pull-up resistor is
not required. This pin must be tied to VIN if not used (it must not be left floating).

SNVS539F – NOVEMBER 2007 – REVISED APRIL 2013
DROPOUT VOLTAGE
The dropout voltage of a regulator is defined as the input-to-output differential required by the regulator to keep
the output voltage within 2% of the nominal value. For CMOS LDOs, the dropout voltage is the product of the
load current and the RDS(on) of the internal MOSFET pass element.
Since the output voltage is beginning to “drop out” of regulation when it drops by 2%, electrical performance of
the device will be reduced compared to the values listed in the Electrical Characteristics table for some
parameters (line and load regulation and PSRR would be affected).
REVERSE CURRENT PATH
The internal MOSFET pass element in the LP38500/2-ADJ has an inherent parasitic diode. During normal
operation, the input voltage is higher than the output voltage and the parasitic diode is reverse biased. However,
if the output is pulled above the input in an application, then current flows from the output to the input as the
parasitic diode gets forward biased. The output can be pulled above the input as long as the current in the
parasitic diode is limited to 200 mA continuous and 1A peak. The regulator output pin should not be taken below
ground potential. If the LP38500/2-ADJ is used in a dual-supply system where the regulator load is returned to a
negative supply, the output must be diode-clamped to ground.
POWER DISSIPATION/HEATSINKING
The maximum power dissipation (PD(MAX)) of the LP38500/2-ADJ is limited by the maximum junction temperature
of 125°C, along with the maximum ambient temperature (TA(MAX)) of the application, and the thermal resistance
(θJA) of the package. Under all possible conditions, the junction temperature (TJ) must be within the range
specified in the Operating Ratings. The total power dissipation of the device is given by:
PD = ((VIN − VOUT) x IOUT) + (VIN x IGND)
where
•
IGND is the operating ground current of the device (specified under Electrical Characteristics)
(3)
The maximum allowable junction temperature rise (ΔTJ) depends on the maximum expected ambient
temperature (TA(MAX)) of the application, and the maximum allowable junction temperature (TJ(MAX)):
ΔTJ = TJ(MAX)− TA(MAX)
(4)
The maximum allowable value for junction to ambient Thermal Resistance, θJA, can be calculated using the
formula:
θJA = ΔTJ / PD(MAX)
(5)
The LP38500/2-ADJ is available in the DDPAK/TO-263 and WSON-8 packages. The thermal resistance depends
on the amount of copper area allocated to heat transfer.
HEATSINKING DDPAK/TO-263 and PFM PACKAGES
The DDPAK/TO-263 package and PFM package use the copper plane on the PCB as a heatsink. The DAP of
the package is soldered to the copper plane for heat sinking. Figure 26 shows a typical curve for the θJA of the
DDPAK/TO-263 package for different copper area sizes (the thermal performance of both DDPAK/TO-263 and
PFM are the same). The tests were done using a PCB with 1 ounce copper on top side only, with copper
patterns which were square in shape.

Figure 26. θJA vs Copper Area for DDPAK/TO-263 Package
As shown in the figure, increasing the copper area beyond 1.5 square inch produces very little improvement.
HEATSINKING WSON PACKAGE
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the WSON-8 package is dependent on how much PCB copper is
present to conduct heat away from the device. The LP38502SD-ADJ evaluation board (980600046-100) was
tested and gave a result of about 80°C/W with a power dissipation of 1W and no external airflow. This evaluation
board is a two layer board using two ounce copper, and the copper area on topside for heatsinking is
approximately two square inches. Multiple vias under the DAP also thermally connect to the backside layer which
has about three square inches of copper dedicated to heatsinking.
Finite modeling of the LP38502SD-ADJ with a four layer board (JEDEC JESD51-7 and JESD51-5) with one
thermal via directly under the DAP to the first copper plane predicts a θJA of 72°C/W.
With four thermal vias directly under the DAP to the first copper plane, the modeling predicts a θJA of 50°C/W.
Adding a dog-bone copper area with four additional thermal vias in the dog-bone area to the first copper plane
can improve θJA to 45C°C/W.
See Application Note AN-1520 A Guide to Board Layout for Best Thermal Resistance for Exposed Packages
(SNVA183) for additional thermal considerations for printed circuit board layouts.
